Picnic

Picnic, operating as Picnic Works, Inc. and Vivid Robotics, Inc., is a food automation company that specializes in robotic pizza assembly technology. The company has developed the Picnic Pizza Station, an automated system that enhances pizza production efficiency in commercial kitchens. This system can produce up to 130 oven-ready 16” pizzas per hour and is designed to fit into any kitchen without requiring extensive modifications, needing only a standard 208v outlet.

The Picnic Pizza Station is easy to use and dishwasher-safe, helping to improve consistency and quality while reducing food waste and operating costs. It allows staff to focus on other important tasks, such as customer service and menu development. Picnic has received several awards for its innovations, including recognition from the National Restaurant Association and CES. The company recently secured $5 million in funding to support its growth across North America.
